I've used some cockney rhyming slang in this, but I'm sure you can all work it out. A Fantasy Figure Or A Real Live Woman When A fantasy figure lies having a soak Hardly a ripple does she make A real live woman sinks back giving her tummy a poke She thinks Oh there that was a mistake To overfill the bath just like that She sighs oh for heavens sake As it slops all over the nice clean mat When a fantasy figure looks at her reflection She gives a smile of sheer delight A real live woman looks and she won't see perfection She thinks Oh my I look such a fright My three-penny bits have started to sag She sighs dimming the light Oh heavens I've started to look like a hag When a fantasy figure dries her hair It flows in waves of silk so fine A real live woman ties it up, hoping it stays there She thinks Oh whatever happened to mine My hair was so long and beautifully free She sighs it's another sign Now it sort of just hangs there rather like me Mushy Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Oh bless you and what are you doing in my bathroom! I love it, just love it, I couldn't have said it better myself, I say real women are best. Fantasy would be nice too I guess, but we have to work with what we have! "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |

I would love to have the fantasy woman look but I'm no fool I can see what I am. I loved the way you told the truth about how real a woman looks at herself. |

Kathleen, real is definitely best, always. Fantasies, don't feel warm and cosy do they. Glad you like this.  Inot2B, well maybe I might want to look like a fantasy for about a micro second, but they don't have smiles and they don't have love. No I'll be me. I'm pleased the point came through. We all have wobbly bits which is why we're real. Serenity, thank you love, the humour is something we all need, and the truth well we need that too. Thank you for reading this.  Circe, I did I thought ah! Circe will like this one, funny with a hint of truth. I actually wrote this because one of my team was complaining that she couldn't find an outfit for christmas and was going on a diet, again. (You can tell I work my socks off can't you  )Take care love Mushy Marsha  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
